Photo Gallery: Women Who Have Mothered Us

I lost my mom when I was 11 to a car accident. The void of losing my mom was big, but many amazing women help to fill it so I could become who I am today. However, my favorite goes to my mother-in-law who quickly became one of my best friends 10 years ago. Over two years after I was married, we found out a little girl was on her way. I missed my mom more than ever during this time. My angel mother-in-law was there to temporarily take my mom's place. She stood at my shoulders as I delivered my baby girl & I felt that void fill in. Now two boys later she is the best "Grammy" our kids could ask for. She is one amazing woman!
